DEEP IN THE FOREST · OSA BY BIKE

Osa by Bike – Level 3 / Osa Epic

This is the ride for those who want the full picture of the Osa. Cover serious ground across varied terrain, demanding climbs, remote coastline, and stretches of forest that most visitors never reach.

Wildlife encounters come with the territory, while the changing landscape makes every section of the route feel distinct.

Longer distances and stronger climbs make this the most demanding of the Osa by Bike experiences — and the most complete way to experience the peninsula on two wheels.
